Figured I’d start a catch-all thread for us to submit our homework to make the organization easier for Gary/Brian.
For those who didn’t know we had homework: we are supposed to watch some of the match footage (http://www.coaching.3four3.com/matches/) and identify when players are doing the things they’ve been trained to do: i.e. stuff from the ebooks and Seattle field session videos.
Video: U12 possession soccer development vs. FC Dallas
0:11 – CB backpedaling when advanced teammate in possession turns and faces him, receives across body to open to RB who is backpedaling to be able to receive wide
0:39 – Both CMs give directions to other players. LCB backpedals when faced, LB gets wide, 3 players end up in the box on attack
1:10 – As RB makes forward run inside, DM takes his place
1:35 – LB gets forward when LW receives similar to as in attacking pattern 1, 3 players in box
1:44 – goal kick to deep CB to wide LB and both receive across their body. Swings through CB to RB and both receive across body
4:30 – CB drops off, plays the CM, and LB starts to get forward similar to pattern 1. CF checks deep to receive the ball then drops it and gives instructions to his teammate about where to play
5:28 – LW receives across body. LB receives across body. CM lets ball roll across body to open the option to switch. RB gets wide and the RW also backpedals to get wide.
6:14 – receives across body and execute attacking pattern 2
6:59 – CB is backpedaling when teammate with ball faces. ball is played to keeper and 5 defensive players get into position to begin set work of playing out of the back.
7:51 – both CMs receive across body. Ball dropped to CB and then 3 players consecutive receive across body. RB backpedaling wide when ball is played to RCB.
9:35 – RB receives across body. DM giving directions to teammate.
9:53 – RCB receives across and begins building out of the back with a bounce from the checking DM to the wide RB.
10:37 – DM and LCB giving directions. RB getting wide. LCB receives across body. DM receives across body.
I noticed Xuxuh tends to make his runs inside whenever the right wing receives the ball near the line. I assume that is by your instruction. Didn’t notice a whole lot of your players losing their man, but that might be because the camera was focused elsewhere.
I do this kind of video review for my team whenever I have a parent who is willing to tape games for me. It really does help a lot to see which kids are actually learning and implementing the things we’re working on in our sessions.
Andrew,
Per the other post I made today and your follow up comment. I didn’t think I was judging people unfairly or inaccurately. I was grouping everyone in saying we all need to keep it simple and focus on the fundamentals. The lack of other posts like the one you provided above is what I was getting at. There are a lot of topics started and conversations that spin away from the core curriculum that Gary has presented. From what I have seen of your interactions in the forums I would say you are one of the few that is staying on topic and really diving into the material Gary has presented. I wish there were more voices and discussion like the 4v0 rondo thread that you contributed to where angles versus spacing was discussed. I loved your contribution in helping others digest how to coach and teach a key element of that exercise.
